Hello,

I was reviewing the technical setup instructions at:

http://help.webmaillogin.com/

and it says:

Instead you will have to add the following records to your DNS zone
file. 
@            IN  MX     0   mail.DomainName.TLD
mail.DomainName.TLD    IN  CNAME      webmaillogin.com.

I've read in some places that having a MX record point to a CNAME, as
opposed to an A record is bad. Although, perhaps that's outdated. Will
the above work for all mailers, to not lose any email?

Also, can you comment on the robustness of the e-mail solution? i.e.
hosted in a world-class datacentre with lots of connectivity, so it'll
receive/send emails fast...data backups, RAID 5, etc...terms of service
as to any "quality of service" guarantees, etc. Commitment period (i.e.
in case you stop offering it, good notice period to allow folks to
transition away from it). Can it be considered suitable for
'mission-critical' email? (i.e. is Tucows using it for their own
email?)

It appears to be a good offering, and could help me to justify dumping
one of my existing webhosts who I've stuck with for years at high
expense, mainly because of their reliable email.

Sincerely,
